A Life 4 Sale, Man Sells Life on eBay

A 45-year old Aussie living in Perth, Australia is trading his entire life as a package deal on eBay after his wife left him. Ian Usher, originally from England, decided that he wanted a "fresh start" after his five-year marriage to his wife Laura ended suddenly.

His internet site (A Life 4 Sale) gives prospective purchasers the who, what, how, where and when of it all, with the home page reading: "Hi there, my name is Ian Usher, and I have had enough of my life! I don't want it any more! You can have it if you like!".

Ian's web site lists every possessions he will be auctioning as part of the package. They include his house, his car, his motorbike, his jet ski, his job (in a rug shop), his 'lifestyle' and even his friends. Some sections on the website will include video interviews with all of his friends so that prospective purchasers can check them out prior to placing a bid.

Ian is no longer selling his story as an ebook downloadable from his web site as he originally planned. He apologizes for the rash and hasty decision he made regarding the ebook.

To date, Ian is counting the days until the official start of the bid on eBay. He regularly posts his thoughts on his blog. The life auction will take place on June 22^nd, Sunday, Australian Western Standard Time and will end in seven days.

Ian is not the first Australian to sell his life on eBay. Last year Nicael Holt did a similar thing on eBay.
